Make a Strategic Impact – Lead People, Drive Change, and Shape the Future of HR

The Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) is creating a Talent Pool of experienced HR Managers to fill upcoming ongoing and temporary vacancies across our divisions (as well as Corrective Services NSW). This is an opportunity to join a purpose-driven organisation that works with children, young people, adults, families and communities to deliver services that are safe, just, inclusive and resilient.

Your role

As an HR Manager, Business Partnering, you’ll lead a team of HR professionals and work closely with senior leaders to deliver best-practice workforce strategies and people solutions that support DCJ’s and CSNSW’s strategic objectives. This is a leadership role with broad reach — influencing decisions, managing complex workforce issues, and building strong partnerships across a broad client group such as Corrective Services NSW, Courts, Tribunals and Service Delivery, Law Reform and Legal Services, Homes NSW, Child Protection and Permanency, and Corporate Services.

What You’ll Do

• Provide strategic HR advice and partner with leaders to design and implement evidence-based workforce solutions.
• Lead and develop a team to deliver high-quality HR services while driving a culture of collaboration, inclusion and continuous improvement.
• Manage complex workforce issues, including employee relations, grievances, performance and conduct matters.
• Lead change initiatives, workforce planning, organisational design, and talent management strategies.
• Support diversity, inclusion, wellbeing, and anti-racism initiatives across the organisation.
• Develop strategic briefs, reports, and workforce insights that inform executive decision-making.
